Description
This behaviour change suggested is for the PGDump OGR driver. Currently (version 1.11.0), without any layer creation options, the resulting file can only be loaded into a PostgreSQL database if the table already exists. If it is a new table, the message from psql is:
psql:pgdump.sql:2: ERROR: table "pgdump" does not exist
Which was caused by the command on line 2:
DROP TABLE "public"."pgdump" CASCADE;
However, with layer creation DROP_TABLE=IF_EXISTS, it works. This should be the default option.
This option exists because the DROP TABLE [ IF EXISTS ] syntax was introduced with PostgreSQL 8.2, which was released in 2006-12-05 and supported until 2011-09-26. PostgreSQL versions that don't support the IF EXISTS syntax are no longer community supported.
